to output FO.
Use Razor and other template languages.

I haven't blogged for a while and one of the reasons is that
I've been working on
Bill4U - a billing system based on Umbraco.
Bill4U is targeted at small businesses and freelancers who
generate a relatively small amount of invoices each month. It
